Beer Park

Puts Whimsy Back In Your Week

By Jen Chase

 Beer Park. It’s a park. With beer.

If the concept feels a little plebian for your typical Vegas night out, I want you to close your eyes and imagine the last time you had a work week so busy it made you wince. Feel the frenzy of your phone calls ringing in your ears, and the filings and the managing of your clients. Did all your writing stress you out? How about the pre-trial notes, the admin, the arguing, the settling? If adulting is hard, so is lawyering. It’s varied, intense, and it’s also your livelihood, so its peaks and valleys are ones you need to manage with grace. Or else.

Know what helps? Down time. Down time that’s smartly scheduled. And for the times you crave unwinding and can’t bear the thought of one more schmancy-spaced, martini-powered outing, Beer Park may be your answer.

The city’s first rooftop bar and grill—clocking in at 10,000 square feet of space atop Paris Las Vegas—Beer Park brings to the Las Vegas Strip both the fun of a simulated backyard party replete with outdoor grill, picnic tables, grass, and life-size games like Jenga, Connect Four and even a giant tricycle. (And who doesn’t love a giant tricycle?)

Bonus? With sports-bar environs reserved on the reg for ‘burby venues, Beer Parkers get to enjoy the excitement of being on the Las Vegas Strip without the hassle of the hustle below. It’s good energy, in a space proffering a beautiful Strip view and near-perfect sports event-watching on the many televisions in and around the space.

(Bonus? The “beer” in “Beer Park” delivers an impressive selection of 100 draft, canned and bottled options, including 36 on tap.)

Need to unwind? If a bird’s-eye view and a cold brew sound like, well: you, consider Beer Park as you tap out of your next busy week and into some rest and relaxation. Because you know what they say about all work and no play. Makes for very dull Jacks and Jills. Even in Sin City.

Sidebar or call-out box:

Despite its name, at Beer Park, suds ain’t the only thing you can get from a spigot. There’s a creative collection of cocktails on draft, too, for imbibers looking for something a little different:

Kentucky Lemonade features Bulleit Rye whiskey, triple sec, and fresh sweet  and sour mix. It pours to icy perfection as the antidote to Vegas’ dog days of summer. (And fall. And spring. And sometimes even early winter.)

Touchdown Smash serves up Skyy Dragon Fruit vodka, citrus liqueur and fresh watermelon…the latter of which can keep the ol’ bod hydrated and is even a known stress fighter thanks to watermelon’s lycopene (the stuff that gives it its rosy hue). This pour is poetry if you’re the type to get a hot collared during games where touchdowns and smashes are working against you.
